Abstract
Naturally abundant and inexpensive alcohols represent appealing and suitable Csp3 coupling partners in transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. A palladium-catalyzed/titanium-promoted Csp3–Csp3 cross coupling between two distinct unprotected alcohols has been accomplished. The reaction features a Pd-catalyzed β-H elimination, enabling the reversal of the electrophilic π-allyl-Pd intermediate into a nucleophilic dienolate and the generation of an all-carbon quaternary center.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
